Trump's most loyal media ally promised a pro-Trump poll. It didn't deliver -- and then pulled story

Washington Post

Herring had on Wednesday pledged an upcoming poll, as the Trump campaign’s feud with CNN over its national poll was heating up. He promised that OAN would be “releasing a poll concerning the 2020 presidential race” that “looks as though it will be in favor of” the president.

Early Thursday afternoon, the poll came out. Conducted by Gravis Marketing, a pollster that earns a C in FiveThirtyEight’s ranking of pollsters, it was focused solely on Florida.

It had Trump and Biden tied in the must-win state for Trump, a state Trump won narrowly four years ago.

OAN produced a video segment on the poll, again featuring Rouz, which appeared on its website. Soon after it was published, though, the report was pulled. A tweet from Herring that apparently announced the results was also deleted.

...who could break enough statistical rules to reverse the numbers.
That's NY guess.
Also, their cash flow is piddly. They likely don't have the budget to commission unmanned expenditures like an extra poll.

Is to assure a naked Emperor that his clothes look absolutely fantastic? The finest clothes, people are saying. The best in history.

Yeah, right. Lame.

Trump was up by 8 points in one of the polls and even or slightly ahead in all their internal polls. After listening to her scream and interrupt the host over and over, I couldn't handle it anymore and changed the channel.
